Horrible situation, but I applaud the girl’s bravery. She’s in my prayers. Isn’t the current president one of Pinochet’s old colleagues? I read that somewhere.

From wiki: Piñera studied at Harvard University on a partial Fulbright Program, after three years graduated with both a M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics. Voted NO in the 1988 plebicite on whether Pinoche should remain in office. But (10 years later) opposed the arrest and detention of Pinochet in London, arguing that it was an attack on the sovereignty and dignity of Chile. He’s a billionaire, made his money largely by introducing the credit card into Chile. Seems to be center-right politically.
